Product Description

Jang Nok Su, a slave, seduces the Chon-ha and goes on to become a feared royal concubine. But the Highest Grand Queen cannot abide a slave sharing the royal bed, and pits her agents against Nok Su.

To keep her place as the Chon-ha’s favorite, Nok Su must disgrace, control, or kill her rivals in court one-by-one using trickery and manipulation. She cannot be implicated. She cannot lose face or she will be cast out… Maybe even executed. Those are the rules of the deadly game played by palace concubines.

The story was a bit slow at the start and I felt some of the plot twists were unnecessary. Also the character development was a little poor as sometime the actions of the characters were not explained properly. The ending of the was also poorly written but overall it was a great read that you will not be able to put down till you finish it. The book was a great read for a great price and will captivate you till the end.

Ultimately, I returned this novel immediately after finishing it. Although it's an interesting subject, there seems to be no real plot. Main character randomly moves through life, doesn't even get to where the description starts until late in book, everything seems rushed. Lots of errors that make it seem like this is a first draft, not a finished novel. Great cover art though!

I fell asleep numerous times trying to get through this extremely boring narrative. Don't waste your time with this book.
